Vaccination and Immune Response

Vaccines work by

• lowering a patient's fever and relieving symptoms

• providing needed antibiotics that are specific to the pathogen

• mimicking disease agents and stimulating the immune system to build up defenses against it.

• killing off the virus in an infected individual.

These proteins can be found on the outside of all cells and are used to identify itself.

• antibodies

• antigens

• vaccines

• Killer T-Cellss

These Y-shaped proteins attack specific antigens on the surfaces of infected cells, disabling them or marking them for destruction.

• Antigens

• Antibodies

• Plasma B Cells

• T-Helper Cells

CHECK ALL THAT ARE CORRECT

Vaccines may contain....

• live viruses that have been attenuated

• inactivated or killed organisms or viruses

• inactivated toxins

• segments of the pathogen

These cells are the body's antibody factories. These antibodies are specific to the invading antigen.

• Antigen Presenting Cells (APC)

• T-Helper Cells

• Plasma B Cells

• Naive B Cells

This cell type roams the body looking for invaders. When it comes upon the vaccine antigens, it ingests them and displays pieces of the antigen on it's surface

• T-Helper Cells

• Plasma B Cells

• Antigen Presenting Cells (APC)

• Naive B Cells

This cell type alerts the other cells to the presence of an invading antigen.

• T- Helper Cells

• Antigen Presenting Cells (APC)

• Plasma B Cells

• Naive Killer T Cells

A specific immune response is triggered by

• probiotics

• antigens on pathogens

• antibodies on B-Cells

These cells find and destroy invaded cells.

• T-Helper Cells

• Plasma B Cells

• Naive Killer T Cells

• Active Killer T-Cells

Memory Cells can be

• Memory B Cells

• Memory T-Helper Cells

• Memory Killer T-Cells

• All three cell types
